Hawaii...yep. You brought back those memories !

I've been though it 6 times, but never seen the Fish
Pond in that Terminal again. I guess it was shown
only once ? Even landing at Hickum I went back to see if
I could find it.

Wasn't no pond. It was an artificial stream. Watched those goddamn Carp
from the walking bridge a couple of times. Some folks call them Koi and
charge thousands of dollars for one, but they are still just Carp to me.

I don't remember if it was a pond or a stream, but when recollecting
it is always a pond. The fish pond at Honolulu airport is one of some
very few things that stand out about my first ride to Saigon. One other
thing I always remember is the "Guam is Good" sign at the pax terminal
at Anderson AFB.
